Adobe Acrobat is one of the most popular and widespread digital authoring programs released by the company, Adobe Systems, Inc. This program helps in creating, editing and manipulating PDF files that can be viewed on a PC and is recognized by the file extension .PDF. Like all computer programs, Adobe Acrobat has its share of problems such as downloads stopping at 99% completion, loading blank pages, file format corruptions and more.

When saving Acrobat files, you may sometimes find the progress bar that was moving smoothly, stops at 99% completion. This is more common on larger files and can be rectified by clicking on the cancel button and then trying the download again. Usually the file will download quickly with no problems on the second attempt.

If you have a slower Internet connection and your large file stops at 99% after several minutes of download, canceling the file download will not mean you have to start from scratch. There are some tricks used by web browsers to speed up repeat downloads, and thus it’s possible that your second attempt will only take a few seconds to complete.

Acrobat Reader is a free program by created by Adobe Systems and is used for viewing and printing .PDF documents that were created using the Acrobat application. PDF files may at times not work well together with some browsers and either load blank pages or actually crash your browser during loading. In such cases, it is better to save files on your computer and then open the document locally from you hard drive. This is usually a better option than attempting to view Acrobat documents from within a browser over your net connection.

Installing Adobe Acrobat or Reader is actually an easy procedure, and like most popular PC applications, is packaged with an installer.

PDF in Adobe stands for “Portable Document Format”, and because of this portability a lot of digital content online is created in the .PDF format. This format provides for easy transferring and sharing of documents for both online and printed versions.

At times the web browser may ‘hang’ when opening Acrobat documents. This happens because Acrobat is tries to force “upgrades” of your current version of the software but the dialog windows does not load. This is one of the most common (and irritating) problems with Adobe Acrobat that can be fixed with a few simple steps.

The software has a default behavior of periodically connecting to the Adobe website to check if later versions of Acrobat or Reader are available. You will be shown a dialog box asking if you want to install updates and it will give you a choice if you want to install updates now or be reminded later.

While it waits for you to make a decision, (which sometimes you can’t see on your screen), you cannot do anything else on the computer, and sometimes you are practically locked out of your web browser.

The remedy here is to disable the feature in Acrobat or Reader preferences menu, or minimize the startup screen and use the dialog box which might be hidden behind the application itself.

The best way to avoid these errors in the future is by disabling the ‘view in browser’ feature on your computer. This allows Acrobat documents to open in the Adobe Acrobat Reader instead of your web browser. It’s best to configure the software to handle PDF files itself because some browsers encounter errors and loading problems when trying to handle files that are associated with specific desktop applications.
